Hi guys.

My name is David, I am 27 and I live in Amsterdam. I am an easy going an open-minded fellow and I enjoy meeting new people and visiting different parts of the world, like most people on this site probably do. I have been a chef for the last 7 years, but I am going to start teaching English in high school from September onwards, for at least a year. I love learning and teaching, reading and writing, eating and cooking, and having all the time in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people. When I travel, I like to spend my time with local people so I can get a better understanding of a place and the people who live there. I believe that you can rediscover you town is by showing foreigners around and Amsterdam has a lot to offer to both you and me!
